KESC tariff increased from 40-70% (Zardari Sab par Bharii)

[funxlab]

Government has allowed a increase in the tariff of KESC by 40 to 70% for domestic and industrial users.

1- Increase will be applicable from April 2008 ( Yes 2008, not 2009) and so arrears will be added in future bills, same happened here with IESCO bills, an IESCO customer can see arrears in his recent bills even after paying previous bills.

2- After privatization in 2005, agreement signed by Short-Cut Aziz Govt and management of KESC stated that there will be no increase in tariff for next 7 Years.

Thanks to Arabs for investment in our country and then minting money out of our pockets the same way monopolist service sectors in their own countries do, every sector owned by a dumb ass prince or princess.

Thanks to "Time Pass/ Chal Chalao" PPP government whose policy makers always have far vision problems or they do something that always had long lasting negative effects on economy and lives of poor people of Pakistan...But we still love Bhutto (for a few reasons) and will vote for Bilawal Zardari and his kids and grandkids coz we love Bhuttos.

Good luck to brothers in Karachi, lets hope MQM will act in "awami" way taking a side with people to stop this injustice. Altaf Bhai !! are you listening ?Helllllooo.....What is time in London? 10 PM I guess.

that would be IF every one did not already shift to another country / Died in a blast/ Killed in civil war / or already sick of life due to internal problems f our country..

Who knows?

[alitayyab]

isnt the actual increase only 31%. as i understand it KESC is now treated like anyother power disco (distribution co) and sells juice at rates equalent to say IECSO or LESCO or HESCO etc.

Even if the rates were hiked 95%, the differntial is to be paid by the govt. not users. if users are to pay than ALL of us would pay the same. i know that isnt the case as IESCOs latest rates are on it's website and compared to march 08 rates, the difference for most part is about 20% (except >700 where it is closer to 50% or so).


Aaj tv yesterday's sensationalism (regarding this) outdid bank closing rumors spread a day earlier

well i don wanna sound mean .... but isn't it our sindhi brothers who do not want Kala Bagh dam to be constructed?

[maz9009]

Forget Kalabagh dam... It will take a lot of time to complete if it's construction is started now and by the time it's constructed India would have already turned all our rivers into small streams with not enough water for irrigation purpose.
